South Australian Forest Weddings

No venue noise.
No pressure.
Just trees, space, and the two of you.

Forestry SA offers a range of forest locations across South Australia where simple wedding ceremonies are allowed — perfect for elopements and small, intimate weddings.

At KISS, we keep it easy.
You choose the location.
We bring the celebrant + photography.
And everything just flows.

Forestry SA allows wedding ceremonies in selected forest areas across South Australia.

These are not traditional venues — which is exactly why couples love them.

They’re raw, natural, and beautifully simple.

But there are a few things to know:

• Wedding ceremonies are generally available from April to November
• Receptions are not permitted on Forestry SA land
• Locations are approved case-by-case
• Total Fire Ban days can affect access
• A backup plan is required

It’s not complicated — just different.

To get married in a Forestry SA location, you’ll need:

• A Forestry SA wedding/event approval
• A commercial photography permit

You can organise this directly yourself.

Or…

We can handle it for you as part of your booking (small admin fee).

Either way — we’ll guide you through it so nothing gets missed.

Some Forestry SA locations offer:

• Cottages
• Huts
• Campgrounds
• Nearby accommodation

This means your wedding can feel more like an experience — not just a quick ceremony.

Stay the night.
Slow it down.
Make it yours.

Most couples don’t want to organise multiple suppliers for something this simple.

That’s why we do it differently.

Our core package includes:

• Celebrant
• Photography
• One calm, experienced team

No overthinking.
No juggling vendors.
No stress.

Just a relaxed, meaningful ceremony — done properly.

Forest weddings are beautiful — but they do come with a few realities:

• No receptions on Forestry SA land
• Weather and fire conditions can affect access
• Permits are required before your date is confirmed
• Some locations are remote or require light walking

If you’re easygoing and flexible — this works perfectly.

If you want rigid timelines and full control — probably not your thing.

You don’t need a big venue to get married.
You just need the right place — and the right people.

Before booking, ask the venue or site manager to confirm step-free access, walking distances, accessible toilets, seating and a workable wet-weather option for your exact ceremony spot.

Share any access needs with KISS when you enquire, so they can be included in the planning discussion. A garden, beach or property being open to visitors does not confirm that every ceremony area will suit every guest.
